The Preds are a good team they are going to create break downs. Allen just flippity flops all over the place with no rebound control.

Great battle by both teams.

Tarasenko, it's not just the shoulder he's playing with pace. He's not slowing the game too much right now; with his shot that keeps the flow, keeps goaltenders and more importantly dmen from getting set.

Mcleod and players like him will be in the NHL as long as there are coaches like Hitchcock and Lavy that want their big players to be protected- sycsam

It's to their own team's detriment. They take out a speedy, skilled forward to play a slow useless player. Reaves doesn't have the best underlying numbers but his hits change how the opposition plays and he's got some decent hands. If he had just a bit more speed to his game I bet his numbers would be better and he would be considered a good, borderline great player.

We don't like Wilson bc he is dirty, but he can actually play hockey. McLeod used to be an effective forechecker but his game is gone now. Boyle isn't a terrible add but McLeod, I'm happy they went that route.
